EMPOWERED ELEGANCE As captured by @daniellelevitt: Paris, 2 March 2022, backstage at the Balmain Fall-Winter 22 Runway presentation. Mixing some of the house’s earliest codes and protective gear, @olivier_rousteing closed his #BALMAINFW22 runway with an array of couture creations. This presentation serves as a poignant reminder of the strength in vulnerability, the beauty in the ordinary, and the joy of drawing from the past while looking to the future. Especially when stylists @stockdale.charlotte and @katielyall add a touch from artist @lisetteappeldorn who creates caricatural masks from everyday objects. #BALMAINCOUTURE
